Why Are Fewer College Students Identifying as Transgender?

Hm, and I suppose you think referring to trangenderism as a "fad" is a "well reasoned argument" rather than just a cheap and bigoted personal attack on trans people? I respond in kind to the quality of "arguments" that are made.
Exactly. This notion that trans people only exist because of some social fad is both offensive and absurdly arrogant. As if @NatMorton understands the deep personal struggles, feelings, and identity of thousands of strangers better than they themselves do.

And the best part is he thinks he's some sort of serious intellectual while peddling this trash.
 
There, I fixed it for you.
Excuses, excuses, excuses.

It’s just young people are bored with the trend. Being trans isn’t the in thing anymore.

On to the next fad.
 
Right! And Jim Crow was actually good for the black folks.
So do you think there's less acceptance now than there was 20 years ago?
So theyre scared to death for no reason?
Yes. If they're scared of the way they'll be received in the world they're paranoid.

Whenever I hear them bitchings are not bitching about how they're not allowed to live they're bitching about now nobody used them as the sex they want to be and they don't use their pronouns if that's a threat to them maybe they're not fit for public life.

I remember seeing it lesbian Creator I'd subscribe to walking around LGBT sort of event. And she walks up to these women that are very clearly women dressed as women and starts talking to him and they say they're trans men that are femme presenting.

This is why the fad died it's stupid. Where are your woman can just say words about yourself and magically be part of the LGBT what's up really being anything but a straight woman that's kind of stupid.

Reducing their existence to a fad is a form of erasure. Its very hateful, and dishonest, as its under the guise of being helpful.

These posters are showing us why trans are driven underground.

Completely agree. And "erasure" is a good descriptor, thanks. I will use that in the future.

No. You’re just disappointed that young college kids have returned to normalcy. Their experiments playing house aren’t as hip as they once were.

Maybe cutting their balls off doesn’t have the same vibe it once had. 🤷‍♂️

And for the non binary’s they looked up male and female and realized they are one or the other.

A college education will bring that enlightenment
 
Professional people have hidden their homosexuality for centuries, but this practice became particularly enforced and widespread in the 20th century due to new governmental policies, intense social stigma, and specific professional pressures. This fear-based hiding, known as being "closeted," has decreased significantly as social acceptance and legal protections have expanded over time.
The protections just started to be reversed. No longer welcome in the US military is one hell of a setback.

You seem obsessed to the point of being unwell.
 
Trans brought it on themselves.

Their push to normalize and use women’s restrooms was not well accepted.

But America does correct herself and returns to reality. It was a fad that is no longer the thing.
You obsession with this is fascinating, and I'm am almost absolutely certain you speak of this without ever having met a transperson.
 
Completely agree. And "erasure" is a good descriptor, thanks. I will use that in the future.
Underground? Nonsense. There was an obvious Trans (dude trying to look like a woman) working at Walmart.
 
Yeah, it's weird. I don't think I've ever had the same level of concern over a group of people as that poster is over such a small group.
It's all they've got anymore. Culture wars are all the rage. DEI, Woke, Trans, immigrants, etc. Imagine how much Republicans could actually get done if they concentrated on stuff that mattered.
 
This is proof America can heal itself and bring reality back from the brink.

“A new analysis has revealed a notable decline in transgender trends among American college campuses. This study indicates that, after years of increasing numbers, there has been a significant drop in students identifying as transgender or non-binary. The findings are based on surveys conducted with nearly one million students across hundreds of colleges in the United States over several decades.”

“Between 2010 and 2020, colleges experienced a rise in students claiming they were born with the wrong body parts. However, since that time, the number of students identifying as trans or non-binary has sharply decreased. One researcher highlighted that “the most striking finding” was the sudden reversal of trends around 2019-2020. They noted, “It looks like whatever social contagion factors were driving this trend may be receding.” This observation suggests that the dynamics influencing student identity may be shifting.”


Wow, who would have guessed it. Demonizing people makes them less likely to identify themselves.
 
These are primarily opportunists, public acceptance have turned negative. There's no benefits to declaring your orientation so why do it.

Hopefully, because the fever has broken.

The damage is done though.

Highly unlikely in this case. Choosing to be a trans lost its shine. Young people are moving on to the next fad.

Back to males and females.

Studies tell us that those in the 18-25 year old age group don't have a fully developed brain. These are the people claiming they are caught in the wrong body. The part of the brain (prefrontal cortex), that allows good decision making is not completely formed until late mid twenties. Enough said.
 
Not believing that a guy in a dress is a woman is not hating anybody.

Not letting doctors abuse children while lying to them about gender affirmation is not hatred.
The left thinks letting anybody do anything to their body is their right. Ok. As long as they are of age and can pay for it. However when you decide that somebody else has to agree with you, then you have crossed the line.
 
They should do it by region, race and socioeconomic status. Rich white liberals on the coasts will have the most "trans" kids.

Then you certainly shouldn't be allowed to own a gun or go off and risk your life in a war. Hell, you shouldn't be able to operate a motor vehicle either.

Why are we letting so many underdeveloped people do all these dangerous things?
